TDS is not to be done on purchases but on contract of work u/s 194C.
but be carefull that if u are paying the vendor for printing letter heads then the transaction can be covered under the ambit of TDS provisions.
But in that case if the vendor specifies the printing rates separately in the bill and the material purchased, then TDS liability on the printing part arises, subject to the limits u/s 1194C.
hope that might help u.. :)
